Ritual Transvestism ( some questions ) ..... another point of view

[Guest guest]

Please pardon me if my interpretation is erroneous ...

but ritual transvestism [ where men dress as women ...] is a

characteristic of those who see the world through the iconography of

Krishna ....

 

the ultimate yoga in their eyes is the union with Krishna .. and

since Radha achieved this, they try to emulate this Radha-bhava by

dressing as women and seek union with the param-purusha Krishna ...

 

in the shakti tradition of those who try to see the world through the

perspective of the Divine Female, the need to identify with a woman

is NOT so important. followers of this path view the Divine as the

mother and for those who dare, as their lover, and seek union with

HER. to be united with her, one has to identify with Shiva ... for

men this may not be too difficult but for women, this may pose some

challenges ....

 

bottomline : for men, transvestism is an option if they long to unite

with Krishna, not so if they take the path of Shakti Sadhana and

virachar.

 

in either case, coitus seems a valid analogy for the ultimate bliss

of union with the Divine

 

Jai Kali ...

You could indeed go further. The Lord Krishna once appeared to Radha

as Kali Maa. You can worship Krishna, as a man, through Kali - you

can worship God through God.

 

Jai Om!
